DEC 1: The National Institute on Money in State Politics met with Social Justice News Nexus fellows on Dec. 1 to share the tools available on their website Followthemoney.org for analyzing campaign contributions and financial influence on elections. Among other things, the workshop analyzed the sweeping energy bill passed in Illinois that same day. The training was thanks to support from The Richard H. Driehaus Foundation, and the institute was the recipient of the 2015 MacArthur Award for Creative and Effective Institutions. Photos by Michelle Kanaar.
